One clue… what does it mean?

Ken, the leader of the Blue Men of the Minch, has kidnapped Evan. Before they left, Evan was able to leave a package for Meara—her grandfather's necklace wrapped in a cloth napkin with one word written in blood. Azuria. Unfortunately, Meara doesn't understand it and neither does her dad or Kieran.

When Dad and Aunt Brigid attempt to rescue Evan, Meara and Kieran begin to train the clan on how to fight and defend their home. A war is brewing, and Meara is determined their people must prepare for the battle. The training sessions are long and arduous, but the Selkies work hard to learn.

Meanwhile, Evan wakes and finds himself in Belle Tresor, the home of sirens. He's bound to his blue form, unable to transform to human, and Ken has plans to use Evan's powers to destroy the Selkies. Thankfully, he's not alone. He befriends a siren named Deanna and several Blue Men. Can he trust them to help him escape or do they have ulterior motives?

As both sides prepare for an ultimate confrontation, the stakes are high and friendships are tested. Some will rise to be victorious. Some will be destroyed. But love and loyalty will be always remembered in this exciting conclusion to the Never Forgotten series.

Bout of Books 13.0 is over. I hope you all had a great time, I know I did. I read so much more than I usually do in a regular week. And even though I didn't reach my of reading 3 hours per day, I am very pleased with my reading.

I managed to finish 2 novels, 1 novella and I am 73% done with an audiobook.

And even though I had a lot of fun with the challenges and seeing people's updates (mainly on instagram) I am glad that the read-a-thon is over. I need a small break from reading. Still, I am looking forward to the next BoB and possibly some other read-a-thons.

How did you do? Link your Wrap Up post and I'll make sure to drop by.

The last day of the read-a-thon is finally upon us. I feel a bit tired from all the reading but I am also really glad for the read-a-thon. I wouldn't be able to read as much as I did otherwise. That been said I will probably take a couple of days off reading after BoB is over. For the last day, my top priority is to finish Scarlet, I only have around 60 pages so it's doable. Have fun on your last day of the read-a-thon.

Didn't do much reading yesterday, since it was a holiday at my hometown and I decided to mostly spend it outside with my friends and family. Also, Scarlet takes me forever to read because of the writing. I hope I can make so progress to it today.

I managed to finish my second book for Bout of Books, Haunted Things, even though it was just a novella.

M9B: Friday Reveal: Joshua and the Lightning Road by Donna Galanti

Welcome to this week’s M9B Friday Reveal!

This week, we are featuring the book trailer for

Joshua and the Lightning Road by Donna Galanti

presented by Tantrum Books/Month9Books!

There are two (2) giveaway opportunities available.

Find out more information at the end of the post!

Enjoy the Trailer!!

Stay away from the window, don’t go outside when it’s storming and whatever you do, do not touch the orb.

Twelve-year-old Joshua Cooper’s grandpa has always warned him about the dangers of lightning. But Joshua never put much stock in his grandpa’s rumblings as anything more than the ravings of an old man with a vast imagination. Then one night, when Joshua and his best friend are home alone during a frightful storm, Joshua learns his grandpa was right. A bolt of lightning strikes his house and whisks away his best friend—possibly forever.

To get him back, Joshua must travel the Lightning Road to a dark place that steals children for energy. But getting back home and saving his friend won’t be easy, as Joshua must face the terrifying Child Collector and fend off ferocious and unnatural beasts intent on destroying him.

In this world, Joshua possesses powers he never knew he had, and soon, Joshua’s mission becomes more than a search for his friend. He means to send all the stolen children home—and doing so becomes the battle of his life.

She attended an English school housed in a magical castle, where her wild imagination was held back only by her itchy uniform (bowler hat and tie included!). There she fell in love with the worlds of C.S. Lewis and Roald Dahl, and wrote her first fantasy about Dodo birds, wizards, and a flying ship (and has been writing fantasy ever since). She’s lived in other exotic locations, including her family-owned campground in New Hampshire and in Hawaii where she served as a U.S. Navy photographer. She now lives with her family and two crazy cats in an old farmhouse and dreams of returning one day to a castle.

First day of the read-a-thon that I managed to read over 3 hours, however I didn't get a lot of reading done, because the writing in Scarlet is not very smooth for me and I was also a bit distracted. Let's hope that today I can read another 3 hours.
